noisy, attack people without a reason, kill other smaller birds, eat their eggs and nestling and take over their spot. I used to live in a neighbourhood with such a beautiful birds, now Crows took over an all I near in the morning is CRAAW CRAAW
Live in Davis next to an active freight train track that shakes the ground and tens of thousands of crows landing in the trees in the evening, hundreds per tree, then let me know how you like that. :)
Crows never attack bigger animals unless provoked (and they have a long and good memory on who provokes them)
They basically always have a good reason to attack people. If you get attacked by one, it's up to you to figure out why and then not do that again.
A lot of the time it's because you are getting too close to their nests during nesting season. Just take a different path in spring and let them look after their kids in peace.
Sounds a lot like another intelligent species. And you're right, I hate most of that species as well.
They are a bit of a nuisance here, hate's a strong word but I'm at least a bit annoyed by them.
